" Deepti get me the reports on Mr. Ahuja's scam" Shehnaaz spoke in a professional tone on the intercom, it was a month of her joining the Kashyap's and she has proved herself, she won 3 cases out of which 1 was probono and she felt proud of herself

Being a Lawyer was something she loved and she knew all her friends would be proud of her too yet she couldn't say much about her parents, Don't get her wrong, her parents were not bad, in fact they were the best parents she could ever get, They were loving, they were supportive yet they weren't happy because of her profession, she is a criminal lawyer for God sake, she wasn't someone who was used to civil cases like they desired her to be.

She heard a knock on her door and she immediately picked up her duppata lying on the side chair of her cabin, she wasn't someone who believed clothes were what defined women yet there was something about her being dressed appropriately, no it doesn't meant she was always someone who wore suits, she did loved western but today was special, today was her birthday and she preferred indian on the day, that was how she was.

" Come in " She spoke, still not bothering to check who was it, she was so engrossed in her laptop to even notice.

" It's your Birthday Beta, you should have gone early and it's 7 in the evening " She heard a voice and looked up, only to look at Dheeraj Kashyap staring at her lovingly.

" Baba " She spoke standing up and making him sit on her seat , which he protested but she was adamant on not giving up, she bent down and touched his feet which made the old man smile a bit more than he usually does she noticed

" Janam Din Mubarak Mera bacha " Dheeraj Spoke and Shehnaaz was sure she has never seen him this emotional with her, it was only when Zain talked about his younger brother that made him lost and maybe angry but never emotional, he was a strict man with a tough interior only if everyone knew how soft hearted he was.

" Aapko yaad tha " She asked sitting beside him on a chair from which she just picked up her dupatta, she wore a lilac colour chikenkari Kurti with a straight leg white jeans and white juttis in her feet with a lilac and White coloured scarf around her neck, hairs open with no makeup

" Bilkul " Dheeraj spoke
" You are my family Shehnaaz, Zain ki biwi ban jaogi, obviously mujhe yaad tha, Beti ka janamdin konsa baap bhula hai aaj tak " He spoke making her smile widely, she wasn't sure about Zain but she loved this old man she called Baba because of him.

" Ye tumhare liye " Dheeraj spoke removing a small box from her pocket, it screamed expensive even from the outside and she knew by the money they earn it was hell exactly expensive

" I can't..... Kya zaroorat thi " Shehnaaz spoke
" Baba sirf kehne ke liye kehti ho, Maanti nhi ho na, Aaj tumhara Saga Baap deta toh nhi leti " Dheeraj spoke dramatically and Shehnaaz shook her head.

" Thank you " Shehnaaz spoke accepting it and Dheeraj smiled widely showing all, of his teeth.

" Kaisa laga " Dheeraj asked waiting for her reaction but she was too stunned to react, it was two diamond studded platinum bangles, they were screaming rich and She sighed.

" Bahut mehnge hai " Shehnaaz whispered slowly

" Zain ku Maa ne banaaye the, Aaj se kafi saal pehle, Bolti thi, Bacho main jiski pehle shaadi hogi uski biwi ko denge " Dheeraj spoke and Shehnaaz noticed how his eyes turned moist on her mention

" Isliye shayad thoda purana design hai, uss time main zyada mehnge nhi bane the " Dheeraj added.

" Bahut Sundar hai Baba, sachi " She spoke pinching her throat and Dheeraj shook his head
